rated at 98% combustion ef-

ciency, but still produces small

amounts of carbon monoxide. It

is primarily intended for use for

temporary heating of buildings

under construction,alteration or

repair. This appliance does pro-

duce small amounts of carbon

monoxide. Carbon monoxide is

toxic. Humans can tolerate small

amounts of carbon monoxide,

and precautions should be taken

to provide proper ventilation.

Early signs of carbon monox-

ide poisoning resemble the u.

Symptoms of improper ventila-

tion are: * headache * dizziness

* burning of the nose and eyes *

nausea * dry mouth * sore throat
